What's that feeling?
What's that feeling when
your throat gets tight
and there's a belt around your ribs
and you can't get a full breath in
and you're hyperventilating
and lightheaded
and feel like youre going to vomit
and like theres a heavy lead weight over your chest
pressing down hard?
And you can't quite swallow but you're salivating like hell
and you're petrified-
its all you can do to freaking breathe.
Every muscle is sore and heavy and your body is weighed down
by a hundred feelings and memories that no words can describe
and everything is sorta half-frozen and fuzzy.
And your shoulders are a tight line and your intestines are a knot.
And movement feels frozen at the same time.
And nothing is right and youre practically crying...
What the hell is that?
